Good one! Personally, Will It Blend was one of those memes that I just consciously ignored. Until I saw it on some actual television show. (quick digging: Modern Marvels, apparently.)
I for one... is obviously an old Slashdot meme that Digg people reheated.
Does anyone still remember the little football button that YouTube added to the video player? Good times.
I remember Reddit after I started using it, around the time of the Digg exodus. It was a fun community of nerdy people. Just doing some things because it was cool.
A few years later, I had the weirdest feeling that that vibe was gone. That both behind the scenes, and more overtly, they had to be prepping for accommodation of corporate interests. A little bit of officially sanctioned promotion here, a dash of ignoring guerrilla marketing there.
And for several years now, it's not even subtle anymore. Reddit does what some dude with money bags says must be done, users be damned.
Remember, they're targeting a specific demographic.
People who are so horny enough about a random girl online that they're willing to type out long URLs off the images without thinking about what they're doing.
I remember the last time I got messaged by some misogynist dipshit, way back in Halo 5, blaming me for losing the game. ...When he was the worst performing player in the team. I just stared at the post game report and wondered how the heck the dude even managed to get a ranking as low as he did.
I always preferred the C64C style keyboard where the graphics characters were in the top of the keycaps. This is my C64G (old breadbin style chassis but with C64C style colouring and keycaps):
Quick summary: You get the left graphics character with the Commodore key (bottom left corner), and the right character with Shift key. By pressing Commodore+Shift, you swap between upper case + graphics characters mode and the upper case + lower case mode, applying to the entire screen (so you can't actually use the right graphics characters in that mode).
Fun thing: To switch to another text colour you press Ctrl + number keys, with 8 colours available there, just as in the VIC-20. However, there's also another set of colours available with Commodore + number keys, for another 8 colours. I guess with Jack Tramiel's penny pinching, they didn't bother to mark those on the keys when making the next gen system.
My favourite was the one Finnair used to do in the spooky season. Flight 666, straight to HEL.
Finland is severely underrepresented here. So. Many. Great. Knife. Makers. Of course I know very little on the subject, I bought a J. Marttiini knife a long time ago and that's been enough. But the industry is there! Long and storied history!
(And does Varusteleka make knives? I thought they're just a retailer.)
Depends on the burrito. If it looks small enough that I can finish it without it starting to fall apart in my hands, then I probably can eat it that way. Most of the burritos in the local texmex places though? Yuge.
That must have been frustrating when the user base responded "but I already got my Blåhaj"
Frankly they should have nuked "OneNote for Windows 10" long ago and quietly replaced it with the Office version. Or better yet, not launch a separate version to begin with under the same name. But this is Microsoft, having multiple apps with the same name is just the norm.
